Projects

Here below is a list of OSM-projects (validation tools & data edits) I've been working on that aren't listed under the digitransit validation page. This list is as for now very much under construction.

Validation tools

• POIs
  • school tagging
    • amenity=school shouldn't be tagged on buildings. This script shows these tagging errors ... https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/XTN
    • amenity=school should have a name. This script shows those that don't ... https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/XTO
  • hospital tagging
    • amenity=hospital shouldn't be tagged on buildings. This script shows these tagging errors ... https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/XTQ
    • amenity=hospital should have a name. This script shows those that don't ... https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/XTR

Ongoing project(s)

• Move address information from single address nodes to buildings wherever possible. Find single address node with this script.

Project ideas

• Check with city/municipality websites that all the schools amenity=school can be found in OSM
• Check with city/municipality websites(?) that all the hospitals amenity=hospital can be found in OSM
• Avoid overlapping sport_centres by removing unessecary sports_centres within a sports_centre that can be classified as leisure=fitness_centre or building=sports_hall
• Check the city service maps for ideas for data layers to be manually or automatically checked
• Check for missing names (eg. objects that have name:sv but no name or name:fi or vice versa)
• Develop tools for analysing unconnected stops
• Ensure that there are no gaps between landuse areas ( eg. with this service)

Done projects

• Manually check with city/municipality websites that all the relevant sports centre areas leisure=sports_centre can be found in OSM ♦ 17.11.2020
• Manually check with city/municipality websites or this one that all the relevant "climbing stairs" in the HSL-area can be found in OSM ♦ 17.11.2020 (some need local knowledge - these were raported as map notes)

Tools

Editing both with JOSM and ID. For mobile mapping I'm mainly using Organic maps & StreetComplete. HSL has also been using Mapillary to collect street view images to support OSM edits.
